History

[edit]

After the dissolution of Stalinabad Oblast in 1951, the territories of the former province became directly subordinate to the government of theTajik SSR,which is how the name came about. In 1955, theGharm Oblastwas dissolved and its territories became subordinate to the Republican Jurisdiction in the same manner. Nowadays, Districts under Central Government Jurisdiction cover much of the territory of those previously dissolved regions, except forDarvoz Districtwhich was moved toGorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region(when it was still namedQal'ai Khumbdistrict).
